Why Did or Why Don’t: To Regift or Not To Regift?

Speaking of gifts, what do you do when on the receiving end of a horrible gift from a friend or loved one? I mean… it is the thought that counts… right? I have received some pretty horrific gifts and I must say, it’t pretty disappointing when the tissue paper is peeled away to reveal something utterly revolting. Do you have to fake smile and tell them you love it (only to pass it along like a hot potato)? Do you ask for the gift receipt? Do you keep it and attempt to use it/wear it? Or do you sever ties with the horrible gift giver… because they clearly don’t know you at all?
